Question

The two rectangles below have the same height-to-width ratio. What is thevalue of w? (If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.)21W=OA. 11.33OB. 17OC. 20OD. 4.3234

Answer 1

- Since the height-to-width ratio of both rectangles are the same, we can solve the question as follows:

`\begin{gathered} (H)/(W)=(h)/(w) \\ where, \\ H=height\text{ of big rectangle} \\ W=width\text{ of big rectangle} \\ h=height\text{ of small rectangle} \\ w=width\text{ of small rectangle} \\ \\ \text{ Thus, we have:} \\ (21)/(34)=(7)/(w) \\ \\ \text{ Make w the subject of the formula} \\ w=(34*7)/(21) \\ \\ w=11.333\bar{3} \end{gathered}`
